2.1 Correct use
Warning
Danger of injury!
¾ Only use the machine for the tasks and materials described in
"Intended use".
The TRUMPF F 140-4 FB lock seam closer is an electrical hand-
held device used for the following applications:
• Closing Pittsburgh lock seams on correspondingly pre-
machined workpieces, such as ventilation ducts, housings,
containers, etc.
Note
The lock seam can be closed on straight or curved contours.
Note
The TRUMPF F 140-4 FB lock seam closer was specially
developed for the machining of R100 – R500 outer radiuses
commonly occurring on ventilation ducts.
The F 140-4 FB lock seam closer is available in two models:
• F 140-4 FB (short): model with short driver rollers and a
suspension lug height of 8 mm. The short driver rollers prevent
the occurrence of indentions on the sheet caused by lower
suspension lug height. The machine can be used for material
thicknesses of up to 0.75 mm.
• F 140-4 FB (long): model with long driver rollers for lock seams
with a suspension lug height of 14 mm and a material
thickness of up to 1.4 mm.

The machine is operated on the workpiece via the rim rolls (1).
Sufficient space for the rollers is important in order to achieve good
results (see Table 3, p. 8).
The shaped element (2) folds the flange over. A minimum flange
height is required here (see Table 3, p. 8).
Note
The amount of friction on the sheet is increased. Driver rollers may
slip if serviced improperly.

Setting the slant
The machine slant must be calculated and set for each individual
job.

E544EN_02.DOC Tool assembly 11
3.2 Setting the initial tension of the tool
The tool tension on the machine must be calculated and set for
each individual job. The settings are made using the adjusting
screw (2). (see Fig. 10173, p. 10)
1. Position the machine at the prepared workpiece.
2. Bring the tool in work position by swinging the clamping lever
(1) into its top position (as far as it will go). The clamping lever
(1) must engage slightly.
3. The initial tension can be adjusted by means of the adjusting
screw (2) after loosening the clamping lever (1).

3.3 Changing the speed
Caution
Damage to property due to low speed!
Motor damage due to overheating
¾ Select the appropriate speed.
The machine is equipped with an electronic module which allows
variable speed settings in order to optimize the results and the
smoothness of machine operations.

1 Setting wheel for speed
controller at motor
Speed controller
¾ Rotate the setting wheel for the speed controller counter-
clockwise.
It is easier to operate the tool at reduced speed.
Notes
• The speed cannot be adjusted with the 120-volt version.
Operations are always performed at maximum speed.
• In general, higher speeds can be recommended for thinner
sheets and for workpieces of lower tensile strength. The results
most likely to be satisfactory for the various speeds are
determined best by the experience of the operator.

Caution
Damage to property due to high power supply voltage!
Motor damage
¾ Check the power supply voltage. The power supply voltage
must correspond to the information on the type plate of the
machine.
Warning
Danger of injury due to improper handling!
¾ Make sure the machine is in a stable position when operating
it.
¾ Never touch the tool while the machine is running.
¾ Always operate the machine away from your body.
¾ Do not operate the machine above your head.
4.1 Operating the F 140-4 FB
¾ Shift the On/Off switch forwards.
1. Close the flange at the start of the channel at a length of 100
mm.
2. Position the machine at the prepared workpiece.
3. Bring the tool in operating position by swinging the clamping
lever (1) into its top position (as far as it will go). The clamping
lever (1) must engage slightly.
4. Switch on the machine and close the flange.
5. Switch off the machine and remove it from the machining
position.

Note
Using the handle (3), the machine can be guided around tight
radiuses. A small or medium amount of force applied to the handle
is all that is required. Pulling too strongly can damage the rollers
(1) (see Fig. 39835, p. 5).
Influential factor Effect Correction
Higher material strength Lock seam not sealed • Increase the initial
tension on the
rollers.
• Increase the slant.
Lower flange height Feed power is increased
→ Machine comes to a
standstill
• Dimensions for lock

must be observed.
• Increase tool tension
• Select a different
roller.
